Incidentally, as far as I am aware neither Roger Federer nor Virginia Wade have sent messages of congratulations on Andy's victory. Am I correct? If my belief is accurate it shows up these two for what they are. Bitter and on the way out.

Even Nadal immediately sent a positive message.

Incidentally, when is the 2013 calendar due for publication?

Finally, can I once again be aided to put up an avator.

If you want to put up an avatar, all you have to do is find a picture that you like, and providing it isn't too big, copy it's URL (making sure it has jpg at the end), then go into the FORUM section listed on the main webpage and click on "PROFILE" in the top LH corner. Go to "Modify Profile" and click on "Personal Information".

When that page shows you should select one of the "Image" options (I guess it'll be Image from the Internet, at least that's always the one I've selected), then paste the URL into the box opposite. You'll see the blank avatar box underneath. Scroll down to the blue "Change Profile" box in the bottom RH corner and click on it. Your avatar should then show in the avatar box. If it doesn't then that means that either your URL isn't acceptable or the picture is too big.

If you want to add a few inspirational words or something, then type those in in the box opposite "Personal Text". For obvious reasons the number of characters you can use is pretty limited and the type will automatically be stopped when that limit is reached, which means you'd have to cut it down a bit until it does fit. The Location and Gender boxes should already be filled in.

Not a peep from either Fed or that bloke Virginia Wade....Virginia has allegedly taken Fed out shopping for a walking frame... useful in the latter years apparently

Well she should know!

It's very interesting though that on the rogerfedererfans.com website there's a huge congratulatory splash about the USO final, and of the 21 comments underneath the only ones that are perhaps a bit negative are the handful that say Andy won because Djokovic ran out of steam come the 5th set.

Of course they aren't. Unfortunately it's the large number of deluded faithful that we hear the most from, so we tend to think they're all tarred with the same brush. Not that these Fed fans were jumping up and down with joy, but were on the whole quietly acknowledging Andy's success.

Would we necessarily know who has sent Andy messages of congratulations - not that I'd want to defend that pair. And why even Nadal? He and Andy are friends. He was first to send him a message after Olympics and has often said he believes Andy deserves to win a GS - so didn't surprise me at all he sent a message. He's closer to Andy than to either smugfed or nole I think.

Of course we don't know, but the point is that Nadal went public with his. Federer and Wade could have done the decent thing and done the same. Mind you old man Fed was so taken up with his own miseries at the USO that Andy's win might have escaped him.
